Stage 1 is a couple without children. Stage 2 is couples with babies, and 4 is couples with teenagers. And on it goes through stage 7, retirement. The graph makes people's marital satisfaction look like a roller-coaster ride.
Well, the graph is misleading for several reasons. One of the big ones is that it focuses only on child rearing and ignores non-child influences such as occupation or in-laws.
Even the layout of the graph is misleading. The 4-point difference from highest to lowest is small compared to the entire range of the marital satisfaction scale. The author of the graph notes that the differences shown are "of little practical value." He also says that your "stage" explains only 1% of your marital satisfaction levels.
